Every elephant needs a herd ππ
As South Africaβs first and only dedicated elephant orphanage with a homestead for orphans integrated into a herd, our purpose is to care for every orphaned elephant that is brought into our care at HERD and help them rehabilitate and integrate into a stable and nurturing elephant herd. A herd that will provide them with the move and emotional security they need to survive, and to give them a second chance at a life with their own species.
Elephants are highly intelligent and an emotional species, with complex social bonds. The unusual structure of our rescued herd that are largely orphans themselves presents a unique solution for orphaned elephants in South Africa that need a home to ensure their holistic wellbeing and survival.

AFRICAN & ASIAN Elephants Compared & HYBRID!
Welcome to Remarkable Animals.
In this edition we will discover the differences between two distinct species:
The African and Asian Elephants.
Physical Appearance: African elephants are generally larger than Asian elephants. African males can reach heights of up to 13 feet or 4 meters at the shoulder and weigh up to 12,000 pounds or 5,400 kilograms. Asian elephants are slightly smaller, with males growing up to around 10 feet or 3 meters tall and weighing up to 8,800 pounds or 4,000 kilograms.
Ear Shape: The easiest way to distinguish between the two species is the shape of their ears. African elephants have larger ears that resemble the shape of the African continent, while Asian elephants have smaller ears that are rounded and in the shape of the Indian subcontinent.

A herd that will provide them with the move and emotional security they need to survive, and to give them a second chance at a life with their own species.
Elephants are highly intelligent and an emotional species, with complex social bonds. The unusual structure of our rescued herd that are largely orphans themselves presents a unique solution for orphaned elephants in South Africa that need a home to ensure their holistic wellbeing and survival.
Being in the company of adults, sub adults and juvenile elephants during their developmental stages is highly beneficial for baby elephants. Phabeni is the latest orphan to benefit from this as he has joined the herd during the day from sunrise to set, in the wilderness.
Thank you for helping us to give elephant orphans in need a herd of their own.

Welcome to Remarkable Animals.
In this edition we will discover the differences between two distinct species:
The African and Asian Elephants.
Physical Appearance: African elephants are generally larger than Asian elephants. African males can reach heights of up to 13 feet or 4 meters at the shoulder and weigh up to 12,000 pounds or 5,400 kilograms. Asian elephants are slightly smaller, with males growing up to around 10 feet or 3 meters tall and weighing up to 8,800 pounds or 4,000 kilograms.
Ear Shape: The easiest way to distinguish between the two species is the shape of their ears. African elephants have larger ears that resemble the shape of the African continent, while Asian elephants have smaller ears that are rounded and in the shape of the Indian subcontinent.
Tusks: Both African and Asian elephants can have tusks, which are elongated incisor teeth. However, African elephants, particularly males, generally have larger tusks compared to their Asian counterparts. In some Asian elephant populations, particularly in females, tusks may be absent or small.
Habitat: African elephants are native to sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting a wide range of habitats including forests and savannas. In fact, there are two subspecies of African elephants, the African forest elephant and the African savanna elephant. Asian elephants, on the other hand, are found in South and Southeast Asia, primarily in countries like India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Indonesia. They inhabit diverse habitats such as forests, grasslands, and mountainous regions.
Behavior: Both African and Asian elephants are highly social animals with complex social structures. However, African elephants tend to have larger family groups, known as herds, which can consist of multiple related females and their offspring. Male African elephants often live solitary lives or form smaller bachelor groups. Asian elephants usually live in smaller family groups and often have closer-knit bonds between females and their offspring.
Conservation Status: Both species face significant threats, primarily due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-elephant conflict. African elephants are listed as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), while Asian elephants are classified as Endangered. The population of both species has been declining, and conservation efforts are crucial to their survival.
Cross-breeding:
Motty was the only proven hybrid between an Asian and an African elephant. The male calf was born in Chester Zoo in 1978. He only lived for 10 days and died of an umbilical infection.
Which elephant species is your favourite?
Do you think we will ever see the return of the Extinct Wooly Mammoth?
